Mandy Made

I create fun, whimsical, colorful clothing for little girls, but I can also whip up some pants or shorts for boys.  I enjoy creating/sewing and I want to share that with you.  I have been trying to come up with a name to "brand" or "market" myself.  I don't know why, but not having a name has kept me from sharing my craft with others because I didn't want to be perceived a certain way. 

I have decided to stick to Mandy Made.  Mandy Made is homemade with love and I hope you like it.  So, when people ask, "Where did you get that adorable outfit?" one would respond, "Mandy made it!"

My goal right now it to create one of a kind pieces and sell them.  I have created these beautiful outfits that I would love to sell...to see if I can generate any interest in my craft.  I do have other patterns that I create from (as you can see in previous posts), but I am starting with these to show my style.


Your little one can take her favorite characters with her everywhere with this lovely Elsa and Anna creation.  It can be worn as a dress or as a tunic/pant set. 



Size 3
Pants: 19" long from waist with a 13" inseam
Top: 18" from top of bodice

This outfit is so cheerful.  Your beauty will definitely get attention in this lovely Seasame street, Elmo and friends creation.




Size 2
Pants: 18" from the waist with an 11" inseam

Halloween is just around the corner.  I loved putting this dress together.  I think it is so fun and really captures the fun and fantasy of Halloween.


Size 3
Dress/tunic is 21" long.  The straps button in the back.  They can be worn straight or crisscrossed
Pants:  I have more of the black/orange chevron to make pants to coordinate with this dress.  If you are interested in pants I will make them.
asking $22.00 for the top (top and pants $40.00)

This pretty little peacock outfit is a real stunner in my opinion.  The colors are absolutely beautiful.

Still going at it...

I finished the boys beach pjs/outfits;Whales for Bradley and Sharks for Bryant.  I have enough fabric left to probably make another pair of each print, so they might just have to match...





















I also knocked out Bradley's game-day outfit for this year.  Really happy with how it turned out.  I simply took the pocket off of his blank shirt, added the embroidery and sewed it back on.













and of course, I made the crimson gingham shorts to match...


















I found this fabric on sale and knew what I had to do to it.  I didn't like the little pink boats, so I decided to cover them up.  It stinks that I have to embroider the fish one by one, but I think it will be worth it in the end....cute custom fabric...




















Pretty sure this will be for my Bradley bear...beach pictures.

All over it...

I have been all over my machine lately like white on rice...I like when I get into these sewing moods.  I just have so much I want to work on and so little time.

I just started these fun pj's for the boys.  I found the cute theme fabric on sale and thought these would be fun to wear while at the beach this summer.  Too bad we have to wait till August.  I might just have to let them wear them at home.
 
Whales for Bradley


















Sharks for Bryant


















Bradley is still hooked to a pacifier.  His pacifier clip was dropped in a parking lot, which I later found...ran over.  So, I had to whip up a new one...


















Because I am totally obsessed with wearing t-shirts, like everyday...I made fo-pocket tees for my teacher gifts this year...

For Teacher...A Tee and a Tumbler...Yay! for Summer


















 and had to make more for me...



 And finally, I made this cute little dress for my niece, Isla, for her happy birthday...



















I made this one for her too for our family beach trip...

Fo-Pocket T

I saw this cute idea on Pinterest (I think) a while back and at first I didn't think it was that cute, but I saw someone wearing one and decided to give it a try.  Turns out it is the best idea ever and I love it!!!  I think it is such a cute way to show your personality, support for your favorite team or cause.

I love my Fo Pocket T's!!!




 



 












I went on a weekend trip to the mountains with some friends and decided to make them all shirts too.
 

I loved doing this project because I really tried to capture their personality with the fabric and color choice...




 

What's next...I need to work on the seats to my toddler lawn chairs and a fun party dress for my niece for her birthday. Fabric spoiler...but I did go back for one more accent fabric so that will have to be a surprise...

Shorts for Pants...

A friend of mine asked me to make her sweet little one some shorts she found on Pinterest. I used this tutorial as my inspiration to create these shorts for her.  The first couple of pair I made were basic.  I was just trying to get the pattern right.  This cute white pair made of simple muslin was the third pair and the final product...













I had so much fun creating these for Miss Hannah "Pants".  Her momma, Casey, is stylish and fun.  She picked the fabric for her shorts and they turned out so cute.  I cannot wait to see "Pants" in her custom ruffle, flutter shorts this summer.






















I finished Bradley's Easter t-shirt yesterday.  I have seen cute bunny shirts with soft fabrics as the bunny.  I did something different and added batting under my bunny.  So it's a soft, chubby bunny.  I still have Bryant's to make and then I will work on the matching pants.  I think I am going to add pockets this time...get excited!!!
